If you are looking for a way of publishing live chats, blogging, Q&A’s and events, you can use dilmot.com.

It is very simple to use. You just have to create an account in dilmot.com. In Dilmot we call “stream” to the live session that is going to be published. This stream can be included in your website like a live feed. So you just have to create a stream for the event you want to cover live, whether it is a Q&A, broadcasting a football match, etc. You may insert this stream in your blog or web, with a simple iframe code that you can put in your webpage. This works in a similar fashion to inserting a live YouTube video.

In the following image you can see the area in the application where you can get the code that you can use to insert your web.

So, now, when you are live blogging and covering a live event, you may want to embed a Tweet and show it nicely with this functionality. Then only thing you have to do is to paste the specific url of the tweet, and Dilmot App will pick it up and embed it in the Twitter embed format.

In Twitter, select “Copy link to Tweet”, then you have to copy paste the given url like this:

https://twitter.com/dilmot/status/609888259112574976

or, select “Embed Tweet”, and you copy paste, the full embed text, like this example:

We are launching a new feature that our clients have been requesting: Liveblogging

Dilmot offers a live Q&A platform, and the way to publish “live posts” is to use the Comment functionality. We have improved it so that it is much faster to use: the form box is open and you can publish a comment just by pressing enter.

Use Dilmot as a liveblogging tool

We also give the option to enter new lines in the text, using many options: the most traditional alt+enter, and two other alternatives: shift+enter and ctrl+enter.

In the following example, you can see how a newspaper is using this feature to discuss about football news. The design shown can be easily customized.
